Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0188838A1] A method of blending images of segments of a view includes determining the position (56) of a second segment of the view represented by a second image relative to a first segment of the view represented by a first image; dividing (54) the second image into a first section and a second section, based on the determined positions; drawing the first image on a canvas (24); and drawing the first section of the second image on the canvas at the determined position so that a portion of the first section masks out a portion of the first image.
